Lorenzo Naccarato
After studying the classical piano for ten years, Lorenzo Naccarato starts in 2007 studying musicology at Toulouse university. With a specialization in jazz and improvised music, he conducts a research project around Thelonious Monk and participates in master classes under the supervision of Laurent Cugny, Franck Avitabile, Kenny Barron, Enrico Pieranunzi and Claude Tchamitchian, whose influences will be decisive in his approach to composition and ensemble playing.

He thus develops a repertoire of compositions for piano solo and for trio (piano-double bass-drums).

Founded in 2012 with Adrien Rodriguez and Benjamin Naud, Lorenzo Naccarato Trio gets known on the developing jazz scene and, from springboards to festivals, receives the public’s increasingly enthusiastic welcome. In addition, requested by Radici, the Franco- Italian review, Lorenzo Naccarato writes the orchestrations of a show on the Italian cinema, “The Untouchables”.

The Trio has been awarded at the Tremplin Jazz in Saint-Germain-des-Prés in 2013 and in Oloron in 2015.

“What is always captivating about a composer is his ability to reflect life, emotions and feelings through music, through his music. Once again, how surprising it is to observe such mastery, such maturity and such complicity… in such a young person. Lorenzo Naccarato is passionate, an enthusiast of life, of space-time, of observation, of the stars and the cosmos, of beauty in its simplicity… rooted in an Italian culture and tradition rich in readings, colors, sonorities, he has chosen the foundations of his trio to make it just one block. The rhythms, the melodic lines, the breaks, everything is one and takes us into a stimulating listening, perfectly continuous.” (Jean-Michel Leygonie)
